Burnham Market was a sea of yellow this bank holiday as hundreds of rubber ducks battled their way down the village stream.

The duck race was fought and won on the Goose Bec which runs straight through the north Norfolk village.

And hundreds of people flocked to see the 250 ducks and find out which would be north Norfolk's best.

Brothers Archie, 7, and Wilf, 6, Barker from South Creake won the top prize when their fluorescent entry floated its way to the finish line first.

The day's event was organised by the Burnham Market Traders Association's events committee as a fundraiser for the village's Christmas lights which cost around £10,000 each year.

Laura Pocock from the committee said the ducks raised almost £570 for the cause.

She said: 'This was the first of our fundraising events this year.

'The duck race was a really nice community family event.

'Burnham Market is the only village that has a stream that runs through it, so it's special.'
